I had a under one yr old this morning whose temp registered 102.8 under the arm and I took it again immediately and it was 101.8. This is a $10.00 digital. It doesn't seem I have seen a reliable thermometer since the mercury ones were still around.
This child was burning up ( I could feel it) raspy, and had other symptoms as well. When parent called me back they said fever only registered 99.2 @ the doctor's office.
So adding a degree mine was registering 103.8 and 102.8. Has anyone else not agreed with the dr office reading? I had someone tell me their kids will register a temp at home but when they get to the Dr. Office....nope normal.
I thought the Dr office thermometer would be very reliable!
